This DVD-R edition has been mastered from an abridged 8mm reduction print originally prepared by Blackhawk Films. The analog video transfer is dark and, even so, often highlight details vanish in a wash of light greyness.

The film is presented with a music score compiled from preexisting recordings.

While this is not an ideal presentation, it is the only home video edition of the film we are aware of.
